More ID needed to pick up Parcel from the delivery depot.

I just caught the Business Post delivery man on the footpath. He asked my surname and got me to sign for the Dell. I realised just how lucky when I was that their nearest depot was in by Fort Dunlop south of the M6. I had only just returned past their road!

Delivery ServiceTo get your parcel from the depot needs a different level of ID however. The new signs in the local City Link depot, a lot closer, off the A444, look for two forms of ID.
  1. A passport, photo driving licence, etc.
  2. A recent utility bill or similar.
    They are being forced to these lengths because of the scams that are being perpetrated using parcel pick-up.

The root cause of these problems are the ease of masking our identities on the internet and mobile phones. In South Korea trust e-business is so strong that it is used by the large majority of the population of all ages. No-one there can access the internet or email without linking to their national id card number.

One argument against the UK’s proposed ID card is the risk of identity theft. Surely no worse that struggling out of a depot in the dark behind a large box with 2 or three forms of ID in your pocket.
